Chapter 171: Bone Scraper (6)
Mo Yuan sat alone under the eaves, staring down at his swaying toes. Not far away, the sound of children playing and playing alarmed the butterflies in the leaf tops, and a shadow covered Mo Yuan. Mo Yuan looked up at the person in front of him, a little nervous for no reason.
Chu Zhixia was dressed in black light armor, and her whole person was shrouded in cold iron and stone, and she could only barely see her eyes through the gaps in her face armor.
"Why don't you play with them?" Chu Zhixia asked casually.
"I don't know them well." Mo Yuan whispered, "Sister, do you have something to do with me?" β
Chu Zhixia shook his head, knelt down on one knee to look at Mo Yuan, and handed her a bamboo dragonfly. Mo Yuan was still a child after all, her eyes widened in surprise, she took the bamboo dragonfly, and thanked her crisply. Chu Zhixia looked at her sparkling eyes, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
Chu Zhixia raised his hand covered by the armor, and the hard armor rubbed against Mo Yuan's soft cheeks, "How old are you?" β
"Seven years old." Mo Yuan asked curiously, "Sister, do I know you?" β
Chu Zhixia still shook his head, and then said, "You may have a chance to know me in the future." My surname is Chu, and my hometown is in Yunzhong County at the foot of Tianwei Mountain. If you want to find me one day, you can follow the direction of Mount Ama. β
Whether it's revenge or something else...... I accept them all.
"Are you a general," Mo Yuan asked timidly, "Are you going to fight?" β
Chu Zhixia nodded.
"I wish you a triumphant." Mo Yuan sincerely blessed.
"Thank you."
Mo Yuan climbed the nail piece on Chu Zhixia's shoulder, stood on tiptoe and put a small white flower hairpin in the gap between the nail pieces, and hugged Chu Shixia.

In the eighth year of auspicious charm, at the beginning of May.
The four-state coalition army that crusaded against the Gyeongju rebels was drawn and stationed at the foot of Tengcheng, a dangerous pass in Gyeongju. The four-state coalition army totaled 60,000 people, and the sand and dust raised by the mighty team when they moved covered the sky and the sun, as if they could easily crush Tengcheng.
Inside the camp tent of the coalition forces.
Chu Zhixia sat on the main seat and rubbed his sword, and the main generals of Yangzhou, Yuezhou, Changzhou, and Binzhou argued endlessly around the sand table.
The general of Yangzhou said that this battle is not easy to fight, so it is better to plan it slowly and think about it in the long run; The chief general of Yuezhou choked and said that the soldiers and horses have been pulled over, and if you don't fight now, when will you fight, will you celebrate the New Year; The lord of Changzhou said that you should not quarrel if you talk well, and you should go out and quarrel; The lord of Binzhou was very obedient and stood aside without saying a word, like a taciturn wood.
Bai Ziche opened the camp tent and walked in, just as he bumped into this lively scene. Bai Ziche was wearing a light armor for self-defense, and his elegant face was incompatible with these martial artists. Sun Yan followed closely behind him, and couldn't help frowning when he heard the noise in the camp.
Chu Zhixia finished wiping the sword, cleanly pushed the drinking stream snow into the scabbard, got up and smashed the sword on the edge of the sand table with a "bang", which collapsed half of the mountain in Tengcheng.
"Have you had enough of the noise?" Chu Zhixia asked expressionlessly.
"Please show me the general." Binzhou will be the first.
"Pull out, 10,000 Changzhou troops bypassed Tengcheng and waited for the troops." Chu Zhixia said, "If there is no military order, only defend and not attack." β
The Changzhou lord was a little dumbfounded, "What to guard?" β
Chu Zhixia planted a small green flag between Tengcheng and Bicheng to the north, and said, "Guard this road." β
"If Tengcheng and Bicheng are attacked from both sides, our Changzhou army will be attacked on the back. Please also think twice. The Changzhou lord turned pale and said with some resistance.
"Let's move now." Chu Zhixia pointed to the outside of the camp tent and said that Yiji's posture was very scary, as if he would be dragged out and cut down in the next moment, "Delay the military plane, you have ten heads that are not enough for me to cut." β
The lord of Changzhou was about to grit his teeth, but the official was crushed to death, so he could only go reluctantly. Chu Zhixia didn't pay attention to the rest of the people, waved his hand and told them to get out, leaving only Bai Ziche and Sun Yan.
"The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, Your Highness should be more careful and don't get too far away from Yulinwei." Chu Zhixia casually instructed, and then asked, "Isn't Your Highness in the baggage camp in the rear?" β
"The four-state coalition army, Yangzhou is under the head of Zhuang, Changzhou and Yuezhou are the regent eagle dogs, Binzhou...... If you don't mention it, even if you have a heart, you are powerless. Bai Ziche smiled and said, "I know that they will definitely push back and want to come over and suppress the field for you." β
Bai Ziche said it easily, but he was actually afraid that Chu Zhixia would be fledgling and in a hurry. Chu Shixia understood his kindness, but he didn't care too much, the Chu family was born to go to the battlefield. Chu Zhixia had experienced a hundred battles and battle-hardened battles in his previous life, and Tengcheng was not very difficult to overcome.
"There is a war tonight, if Your Highness does not return to the baggage camp, it is better to rest in the main account." Chu Zhixia said.
"There's a battle tonight?" Bai Ziche was surprised, "Is it the Changzhou Army?" β
"No, it's the Binzhou Army."

The moon is in the middle of the sky.
The defenders of Tengcheng, who had been nervous for a day, suddenly heard the sound of drums in the barracks under the city, and the drumming sound was like muffled thunder. The defenders of Tengcheng fixed their eyes on the black ant colony-like coalition advancing towards the city wall. The defenders slammed the alarm bell and shouted loudlyβ
"Enemy attack!"
ββ
The generals who were picked up from the bed by Chu Zhixia in the middle of the night were sleepy-eyed. Chu Zhixia touched a string of Buddha beads, and without raising his eyelids, he motioned for Yu Linwei to pour them a cold cup of strong tea. The main generals immediately came to their senses, and before they could react to what was going on, Chu Zhixia ordered the army to attack the city immediately.
"So suddenly? Is there any special timing? The Lord of Yangzhou's eyes widened and said in disbelief, "You have to give us a reason!" β
"Right now, it's a good opportunity."
Chu Zhixia received the Buddha beads into the quiver and strode forward to raise the curtain of the tent. The heralds woke up all the soldiers early, and the cavalry and foot soldiers were ready to go. Cheng Yuan led Xue Cheng to the camp tent and knelt down on his breastplate.
"The eldest lady's daughter, don't take the lead in the charge!" The face of the Yangzhou lord changed, and he almost threw himself at Chu Zhixia's feet.
Yu Linwei was Chu Zhixia's eyes and ears, and Bai Ziche was also watching coldly. If the Chu clan in the clouds knew that Chu Zhixia had three longs and two shorts on the battlefield, it was because the coalition forces had different hearts, and it was possible for Chu Ming to eat them alive.
Chu Zhixia buckled his armor with a "click", and reached out to pat Xue Cong's neck. The longing for the battlefield in Xuekull's veins awoke, and the horse's hooves excitedly dug down the earth.
"Pass my order, the cavalry will open the way, and the foot soldiers will follow closely behind to attack the south gate."
There are two gates in the north and south of Tengcheng, the south gate is facing the camp of the coalition army, and the north gate is blocked by the Changzhou army. However, the Changzhou army was ordered to stand still, and the south gate was still heavily hoarded, even if it was a novice soldier, it should know that the defenders would inevitably defend the south gate.
The general of Yangzhou and the general of Yuezhou sighed after listening to it, and they had no choice but to turn over their horses and follow the military flag.
The defenders of Tengcheng really only defended but did not attack.
Arrows rained down on the coalition like locusts, and the cavalry was heavily armoured, but the horses were not fully armed. The horses with the arrows fell with the cavalry, and the battle flags swept over them like a red tide.
Each city in the Great Zhou Dynasty repaired an urn city outside the gate, equipped with weapons such as arrow towers and gate gates. The allied forces first captured the city of Weng, and then conquered the city wall with foot soldiersβall because of the heavy load, they had to rely on soldiers to climb the city wall.
The lord of Yangzhou scolded Chu Zhixia angrily in his heart, he didn't need trebuchets and rhino horns to rush, but he had to use people to climb the city wall, and he could only attack it in the year of the monkey?
"The cold is really bad."
